Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Fri, 2009-11-20 08:00

Every week, KATU Sports Photographer Mike Rosborough spotlights local high school football games in his 'Mike's Games to Watch.' And you can catch highlights from the games on our High School Blitz show Fridays at 11:35 p.m. (right after KATU News).

Here is one of this week's games to watch...

Clackamas, fresh off an upset victory over defending champ Southridge on the road, buses to Centennial, licking their chops after a bye week and anxious to make the return to the playoffs a successful one.  These two teams rely on speed and special teams to have a chance, expect both to score TD’s but this game will swing on turnovers on a grass field and how they cash in…

Police arrest Milwaukie man on sex abuse charges in Clackamas; suspect more victims in the area

Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Thu, 2009-11-19 08:43

Deputies from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office arrested a man Nov. 16 on a charge after he allegedly invited a woman into his business and then sexually abused her.

According to the police report, an 18-year-old woman called her mother crying hysterically while parked alongside a roadway in Clackamas. Her daughter told her mother she had been invited by the proprietor of a nearby gym to visit his facility on Jannsen Road in Clackamas -- where she reports being sexually abused by this man.

A Clackamas County Sheriff's Patrol Deputy was dispatched to this reported incident and located the 18-year-old female situated in her automobile at an intersection in the Clackamas area. 

The woman told the deputy she met a customer where she works about two weeks prior. She described how this man invited her for a free session at the gym he owned in Clackamas.

Police: Help us nail these guys

Submitted by Dan Tilkin on Wed, 2009-11-18 18:16

Police say hundreds of stolen goods are just the tip of the iceberg in a crime spree by a trio of heroin addicts.

Police are working to get the stolen items back to their original owners and are actively looking for victims so they can prosecute the thieves.

Police are not identifying the three suspects because they are still building their case. They do say they believe the crime spree stretched across Oregon, out to the coast and into Vancouver.

The stolen items include big screen TVs, tools and lots of jewelry that police in Portland, Clackamas County and Multnomah County have recovered. Detectives even found Civil War money. But they know many things like computers and guns have already been sold at pawn shops or on the street.

They are also hoping to track down the owner of a Purple Heart that has the name Leonard B. Cox inscribed on it.
